LF a Class to play - Please help :D

Post#1 » Tue Jun 21, 2016 9:40 pm

Hi

I Really like solo roaming around killing stuff, Running smallman(1-5people) is also something I'm very fond of.
I do not need people telling me that war is about taking keeps, as I am fully aware of that aspect of the game(This is also directed at sc's)

I am seeking a few mechanics on the class, that I would like. Be it destro or order, does not matter.

I would like for atleast a few of the following:
-Charge
-Knockdown
-Jump
-Pull
-Healdebuff

Preferably with as many as possible. Please write which of these the class has.

I would prefer no mentions of WL, as I'm not very fond of the class.

Currently I play an SW(T3), and feel like i'm getting stomped by most melee, healers and sorcs.(This might be an L2P Issue, but It is one I would prefer not working to overcome)

On live I played SM to 40 as 2h Khaine/Hoeth spec, and remember DoK, Shaman and Sorc as my primary ragequit targets :p

Feel free to ask about anything, and please be constructive in your explenations(I would appreciate, but not require long paragraphs. Even mentioning the class+requirements (Shadow Warrior, Healdebuff+Knockdown, Ect) is fine aswel.

Thanks for your time! (:

Presume you want a MDPS so...
Marauder would be best fit. Has all but the jump.

Choppa is similar to Marauder, has an RNG close range pull, like the magus/engi one. Can also spec for a channelled damage+heal skill. Also much more squishy, but a better damage output. Don't really recommend this class to play solo, needs a guard+healers to work really well.

Slayer has Charge, KD and Healdebuff.

Mara or choppa

Witch hunter or Witch elf

Don't ever spec the pull ability on choppa, if you want a pull go Mara

Just like most others have said, Marauder sounds like what you desire, Marauder is also a very formidable solo class as well. Don't rule out the white lion either, great burst for snagging up the ganks, as well decent CC and with the pet you can sometimes kite your way out of some situations as well use your pounce ability (leap) to get you out of some situations as silly as that sounds.

Witch Hunters and Witch Elves are exactly what you think they are and exactly what you think they do. I think they have great burst damage, for sure not as tough as marauder and white lions but at late game they do get a self punt ability which in my opinion pretty much completes the class in terms of its solo capability.

The last thing to consider which may not be your cup of tea is solo tanks. There are a few builds with SwordMasters and Black Orcs that make them very competetive for both solo play as well small scale groups. The burst damage that they can put out is quite nice considering the archtype they are, that said they are missing most of the tools you described that you desire.

Thanks a bunch people (:

It seems like Marauder might be the class for me. Choppa/Slayer could be interesting, but i suspect the increased damage taken might be a big issue vs pets and good kiters?

WH/WE seem to me to be rather incomplete as a solo machine, where an enemy that manages to slip away, wont be caught again.

My main reason for not liking WL, is that the pet is included in most of the active skills.(I like engi and magus pets for instance)

@Kweedko: DDZealot might be fun, and I think your 6DDZealot idea is great, however I would prefer only being enemies with the opposing faction(I tried DDRP and DDAM, and had more order haters than destro, lol)
@Khotek: I Loved my SM back on live, and found it super strong vs any Melee(except DoK) I would however like to be able to kill people, if they by any chance ran into a friendly healer mid fight.

In other games, Hybrids were my primary goto builds/classes, As i always found it funny to kill people as a healer or tank. The ability to stay in a fight for an extended period of time, gave me more time to come up with a strategy on the getgo, as opposed to say, stealth classes, which primarily are built to annihilate a single target, then run away, stealth and repeat.
In t1 i loved my SW with the ability to slow and shoot on the run, where there wasnt as many people with the ability to catch me. In T3, it feels like I run away from people(and get caught) as opposed to kiting, or catching others.

As said earlier, it might be the Marauder, So thats what I'll focus my time on for now.

Thanks again all!
